Maybe they learned the spelling from forums posts.

Poor spelling on a website? That’s unpossible!

I don't know why but that breaks/brakes spelling always bugs the heck out of me.
It must be my old age manifesting itself.

Since I do a lot of my internet browsing on bicycle related sites I see those misnomers quite often, like distressingly often.
I often lament my lackluster education but since I started reading the comment sections of various sites (especially politically oriented ones) I have come to the realization that my primary/secondary education wasn't half bad at all, or apparently a lot better than a lot of other folks.
